Now more than ever we need surveillance camera man (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13587614/, https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Surveillance_Camera_Man) to return. By directly associating a human with the surveillance he allowed us to see what people's true reactions are to being passively surveiled: very, very angry and confrontational.

People hate being surveilled, but they can't quite make the connection that there are humans behind passive surveillance due to the abstraction. Surveillance camera man reveals people's true feelings.

Unfortunately youtube has repeatedly deleted his videos over the years and we are currently in such a period: https://www.youtube.com/c/SurveillanceCameraMan/videos . Luckily vimeo has at least one of the 1 through 8 videos: https://vimeo.com/98862974
